SynopsisThree men once came together to destroy the world - and then restore it. One isolated moment on the edge of forever, the echoes of which will inform the rest of their lives. David R. George's 'Crucible' trilogy explores that pivotal, crucial moment in the lives of the men at the heart of 'Star Trek'., in celebration of the fortieth anniversary of Star Trek comes the first instalment in an enthralling new trilogy featuring the series' most iconic and well-loved characters: Captain James T. Kirk, his half-Vulcan first officer Mr Spock and Dr Leonard 'Bones' McCoy., David R. George's Crucible Trilogy explores the legacy of one pivotal, crucial moment in the lives of the men at the heart ofStar Trek -- what led them to it, and to each other, and how their destinies were intertwined. For Doctor Leonard McCoy, life takes two paradoxically divergent paths. In one, displaced in time, he saves a woman from dying in a traffice accident, and in doing so alters Earth's history. Stranded in the past, he struggles to find a way back to his own century. But living an existence he was not meant to, he will eventually have to move on, and ultimately face the shadows born of his lost life. In the other, he is prevented from saving the woman's life, allowing Earth's history to remain unchanged. Returning to the present, he is nonetheless haunted by the echoes of an existence he never lived, and by fears which will bring him full circle to the shadows he never faced., IN A SINGLE MOMENT . . . the lives of three men will be forever changed. In that split second, defined paradoxically by both salvation and loss, they will destroy the world and then restore it. Much had come before, and much would come after, but nothing would color their lives more than that one, isolated instant on the edge of forever. IN A SINGLE MOMENT . . . Leonard McCoy, displaced in time, saves a woman from dying in a traffic accident, and in so doing alters Earth's history. Stranded in the past, he struggles to find a way back to his own century.
